Requirements for Applicants

**Each application is dated and reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and incomplete applications cannot be processed for review. Students interested in applying to the program must submit the following:

• A completed application with electronic signatures from both you and a parent/guardian
• $60 non-refundable application fee
• Proof of English proficiency, if English is not your primary language
• A 200-250 word response to each of the following questions:
  • Students attend RISD Pre-College for a wide variety of reasons, but all share a common passion for art and design. What artistic and academic goals do you hope to achieve by completing RISD Pre-College?
  • RISD Pre-College is a rigorous academic experience and has high expectations of students. Describe a time when you had to be self-motivated to work through and complete a project or task. What are the personal skills that helped you? What personal skills would you like to improve at RISD Pre-College?
  • At RISD we value diverse perspectives and life experience. Explain how you will engage in an inclusive community.
  • RISD Pre-College is open to students of all backgrounds and skills—from beginner to advanced. Please describe in more detail your experience and motivation with art-making, any formal or informal studio learning you have experienced, as well as the ways you have kept yourself engaged in learning new skills.

申请截止日期: 秋季为每年 2 月初，春季为每年 10 月初。

Requirements for Applicants

• Your portfolio should present 12–20 examples of your most recent work that showcases your thinking and making. You will upload your portfolio in SlideRoom through the Common Application, where you will begin the application process.
• Your selected work should reflect a full range of your ideas, curiosity, experimentation and experience in creating and making. This can include work in any medium, in finished or sketch form, and can be the result of an assigned project or a self-directed exploration.
• We strongly recommend that you include some examples that involve drawing from direct observation (rather than from imagination or a photograph). Drawing is a fundamental tool for visual makers from initial concept to execution, so it is valuable for reviewers to see examples of your experience with and approach to drawing.
• While the majority of your portfolio should feature finished pieces, we suggest including some research or preparatory work in up to three—but no more than three—portfolio selections. This helps reviewers better understand how you develop your ideas.
